Please note we previously advertised the May 27 meeting as being in anti-clockwise direction - this has been changed to clockwise direction now, sorry for the error here.
Well what a stunning weekend of racing with the Rotax Challenge Round 2 and our club day on the Sunday. A HUGE thank you to all those that participated, not only drivers but support crews, familys, Kartsport NZ officials, our brilliant committee (who once again worked hard to organise such a great event), and everyone else who made it possible. A big thank you too to the South Island competitiors who stayed over from the Nationals.
Also a huge thanks to Greg Neaves for re-painting the curbs blue and white over Easter, the track looked stunning over the weekend. Also thanks to everyone who came out to the working bee on the Sunday before Nationals to get those odd jobs finished and the track prepped for this meeting.
We hope you all had a great meeting.
Results are here
POINTS SERIES - this year sees the return of our successful points series. 6 rounds this year. Have a look at our events page for each round and the track set-up - some will be long track, some short, some clockwise, some anti-clockwise - should great to see who can come through with the skills on the different tracks.
MASTERS - are those that are 40+ and wish to be recognised as a master - we recommend you use the green number plates and remember to state you are a Master at the registration desk. This year our club will recognise the Masters with certificates and trophies at all meetings plus points series and club champs. There should be some great battles out there - get amongst the action!
TRACK CLOSURES -
Every Wednesday night - 5.30 onwards the cycling club use the track for their events.
Thank you for your co-operation.
ARE YOU 40+ AND KEEN ON KARTING?? MASTERS IS FOR YOU...
Rotax Masters (above, green plates) - if you think Kartsport is just for the young ones think again - Masters is the biggest growing class in the country - low maintenance, electric start Rotax engines on a full chassis makes Kartsport for the 40+ age group super fun, super skilled and totally affordable. True, some of the youngies will out pace you but the battles between the Masters in the middle are superb. Get in touch with us now, or call Brad at Pacific Kartsport NZ (021 575 735 or pacifickartsportnz@ihug.co.nz) to find out how you can come racing with the Masters.(Photo Kaycie O'Connor)

CLUB INFO:
Click here for an Excel kart set-up sheet where you can record all your data for each meeting - a great resource to look back at see from past events what works and what doesnt. You can print the second page on the back of the first page so you can record lap times, rpm, temp etc for each race and lap so you see all the data for a meeting on one page. There is also a page to record your base set-ups. Best to go 'save as' when the prompt comes up, save it, then open it in Excel.
The draw for the naming rights for the track for one year was drawn on Sept 11 2011 and congratulations to Eric Bass and family who purchased a ticket - it is now the Bass Raceway.
